About Embody Feminine
My Soul Purpose
I am an Integrated body awareness practitioner and a guide of women circles and ceremonies, for the healing and embodiment of the feminine and for inner transformation. My passion and my soul's calling has always lead me to pioneer, to create and birth the new into the world, and being in service to support others to do the same.
I am a designer and a creator of beauty, a dreamer that weaves my dreams into being. I am a catalyser for change and a mystic midwife for the birth of the new. I am a "Keeper of the Sacred Water Rites."
I love nature and the elements, the moon and the stars, the mountains and forests. For me most essential is the ocean and all the waters of life in all of its expressions. The beauty, power and love of mother nature and her animals has always guided me, and has been supporting me on my own healing path, my life s journey and for the healing service i offer.
I believe in bringing the soul of the feminine back home into the body, our hearts and womb, we can heal ourselves, our relationships and our world around us. Embody Feminine has been created from my deep inner longing in my heart, to express my soul purpose, for the healing, the freedom and respect for myself, the generations before me, for our children, the collective feminine and mother earth.
'My Calling' - by Lisa Maurer
"The warmth of the sun,
the salt on my skin,
the sand between my toes,
the sound of the ocean.
this feeling in my womb,
has brought me on this journey to be here,
all of me, with my gifts and shadows,
to be challenged, to grow, to feel and heal.
The waves, the waters, the feminine,
And the birthing of new,
It's calling me.
This longing in my heart,
Above me the blue sky and the sun in my face,
feeling this sacred union of sun and earth
within me, I answer the call,
I am coming home."
We Heal For a Brighter Tomorrow
In the words of Andrew Harvey;
"
The future of the world depends on the full restoration of the sacred feminine,
in all its tenderness, passion, divine ferocity, and surrendered persistence.

My Personal Story
My name is Elisabeth (Lisa) Maurer.
I grew up in Switzerland on a farm, surrounded by nature with 3 siblings. My mother was a passionate midwife which has invoked in me very early the curiosity for the birthing of new life. My intuition and creativity, my sense of justice and freedom, balance and beauty was not something I felt supported with in my childhood and mainly being forced to go to school. It felt that it broke me at the time. But through this, i learnt very early to build a deep relationship with nature and the animals. And it also lead me to leave home very early to study language and get my confidence back and find out that i wanted to go to art school and study decoration design when. This has finally given me a place where I felt that i could express myself and my gifts.
The impact of not feeling supported in a system that does not honour the feminine qualities and gifts we are born with, aka working as a decorator designer, made me leave home with 25 and travel the world. This is when I started my healing journey, reconnecting again with my body and soul, while i was being closed to and in the ocean every day. I started to hear my inner voice again and feel guided by something much vaster and wiser. Travelling back and forth, I worked as a decorator designer again but had this desire to be working with humans and their body rather than wasting material things. I went back to Australia again, the land that magnetise me from the beginning i first touched it with me feet. Here i started studying "Integrated Body Therapies”. After a few years i returned back to Switzerland where I opened my first clinic and learnt through all the years many other modalities and skills.
In Craniosacral therapy I found a very safe and profound form of working with people on their healing journey. It has also helped me to heal my own traumatic impacts in my life. I managed to establish a business that supported me until now to make a living from, a dream that became true.
When I moved to New Zealand I became very passionate about supporting mothers and babies during pregnancy, birth and for post natal recovery. This for me i realised is one of the most important work at this time on our planet. This big urge for bringing back the knowledge of sacred birthing has brought me into the womb healing journey, and opened up a gateway for me into the sacred feminine mysteries of life. Basically finding slowly but surely back home, a place within myself that connects me with mother source in all of her forms, the missing piece i was looking for my entire life.
In the last year I have intensely studied about the sacred feminine work with women. I have created 3 different women circles that are supporting women to step into their feminine power. One of these circles is the Embrace Birth class which is hold for pregnant mothers. A special one i created is the Moon Sister Circle for young teenage women. And our Sacred Womb Circle for women to gather in sisterhood temple for ceremony. In the last years I dedicated myself in continues training on the path to become a modern day priestess and as a guidance for temple work, holding sacred space for women to help them remember the feminine mysteries that live within.
Today I weave all of my life and work experience, the teachings I have received and my soul gifts I have discovered and reclaim now, together in creating Embody Feminine.
My dream of Embody Feminine in the near future is to co-create birth preparation classes with other professionals in that field, and as well co-create and lead temple work and sacred ceremonies with my soul sisters and brothers!
